A career bowling average of 27 is pretty damn good in this day and age. His domestic records are acceptable, he`s only 22 and he`s playing on Sri Lankan pitches. Every other Lankan seamer has similiar domestic averages.

He bowled very well today and used the pitch extremely well, and hence deserved his wickets. Just like Bracken takes wickets in conditions that help him, and no-where else.

Mahela and Sanath were absolutely brilliant ..... When the Windies were batting it seems thay couldn't get the ball off the square. Even lara's booming drives seemed weak and badly timed. But From the first ball Mahela faced from Edwards it seemed a totally different wicket. His timing was crisp and in no time the ball was racing to the ropes. Even Sanath played some gentle exquisite cuts that raced to the boundary.
